VISITING COMMITTEE 



SOLDIERS' ORPHANS HOME, 



LOCATED AT 



CEDAR FALLS, BLACK HAWK CO., IOWA, 



DES MOINES: 

F. W. PALMER, STATE PRINTER. 

1868. 






REPORT 



Mr. Speaker : Your committee appointed to visit and report 
upon the condition of the Cedar Falls branch of the " Iowa 
Soldiers' Orphans Home," having performed the duty assigned to 
them, respectfully ask leave to submit the following report : 

LOCATION. 

The Institution is located nearly in the center of the town of 
Cedar Falls, which place is about 75 miles west from the northern 
and about 100 miles from the eastern boundary of the State, in 
Black Hawk county. It is quite easy of access from the east and 
west by means of the Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad, which 
passes through the town, and by means of the railroad which is 
now being completed northward from that point to the Minnesota 
line. The locality is probably as pleasant and healthful as any in 
the State, but a site more retired from the business of the city and 
upon more elevated ground, would, in the opinion of your com- 
mittee, be decidedly preferable. 

MANAGEMENT. 

At the time of the State Board of Trustees 3 appointed by the 
Eleventh General Assembly, accepted" control of this institution, 
to -wit: on June 9th, 1866, it was under the superintendence of 
Arthur Morrison, who was retained in such position until about 
the 1st of October, 1866, when he was replaced by J. B. Abbott. 
Some two months since Mr. Abbott gave place to Mr. S. W. Cole, 
of Fayette county, whom your committee found dilligently 
employed in the active duties of superintendent — ably and 
efficiently assisted by the following officers : 



4 SOLDIERS ORPHANS HOME. 

Matron — Mrs. M. II. Cole. 

Physician — Dr. O. A. Goodhue. 

Steward — Mr. J. J. Van Orden. 

Nurse — Mrs. J. J. Yan Orden. 

Teacher High Department — Miss Mary Sweeney. 

Intermediate Department — Miss Clara Wightman. 

Primary — Miss Tillie Briggs. 

Your committee take pleasure in saying that these officers 
seemed considerate of the welfare of all under their charge, and 
were uniformly active, courteous, kind, and judicious in the 
performance of their several duties, and the result appears to be a 
thorough discipline of the many children and youths — and yet a 
kindness and gentleness of tone and expression on the part of all, 
reminding one only of parental and filial care and affection of a 
home in fact. 

INMATES. 

The institution has now in its care 278 orphans of soldiers, none 
of whom are over seventeen years of age, and some as young as 
three years. 

The following counties are represented, viz : Alamakee, Ben- 
ton, Blackhawk, Boone, Bremer, Buchanan, Butler, Cerro Gordo, 
Chickasaw, Clayton, Dallas, Delaware, Dubuque, Fayette, Floyd, 
Franklin, Hardin, Jackson, Jones, Linn, Marshall, Pottawattamie, 
Tama, Webster, Winneshiek and Wright — in all twenty - six 
counties — the number of children of each varying from one to 
forty -three. On June 9th, 1866, there were 180 children at the 
Home. Since which time there have been received 250. Total 
number received, 430 ; of this entire number, 140 have been dis- 
charged or removed by parents or guardians ; five have absented 
themselves without leave ; one has been expelled and six have 
died. 

Of those discharged many had reached the age of sixteen years, 
and were believed to be able and willing to care for themselves, 
and one of them has been employed at the Home, and is now use- 
ful as manager of one of the wards. 



REPORT OP VISITING COMMITTEE. 



THEIR CONDITION. 



The children are very plainly but comfortably clothed. Almost 
all the articles of clothing are made at the Home. 

Six employes are kept constantly at work in the sewing depart- 
ment. Each child's clothing is plainly marked — kept by itself — 
frequently changed — well washed and ironed. 

The food is very plain, but well cooked, and undoubtedly a 
wholesome diet. The bill of fare is somewhat varied each day of 
the week, — but each day has its regular fare, a sample of which is 
Wednesday: 

For breakfast, beefsteak, potatoes, bread and butter. For dinner, 
soup and crackers. For supper, bread*, butter and molasses. Their 
meals are taken very regularly and with most excellent decorum, 
whilst at the table, and without noise and confusion in going 
thereto and returning therefrom. 

Their rooms are thoroughly cleaned every day, and the children 
are bathed regularly once each week. This care of clothing and 
food and cleanliness of person and apartments has a double reward 
in the neat, tidy and cheerful appearance of the children themselves 
and in the preservation of their health. 

Your committee found but one under the care of the physician, 
and that one was quite convalescent. Only one death has occurred 
since December, 1866. The younger children are required to 
retire at 7 o'clock, p. m.; the elder ones at 9 o'clock, p. m., and all 
rise at 5 o'clock in the morning. Chapel exercises are held morn- 
ing and evening, and on the Sabbath the children attend such 
church service in the city as the parents or guardians may direct. 

SCHOOLS. 

Ten months of the twelve within the year are devoted to daily 
school instruction. 

The educational system consists of a graded school, divided 
into three departments — Primary, Intermediate, and Higher. In 
the Primary Department are nearly 100 little scholars crowded 
into a small room certainly not more than half the size it should 
be. To these are taught principally reading and spelling. To 
the Intermediate class are taught reading, writing, spelling, and 



6 soldiers' orphans home. 

arithmetic. About 80 scholars are in the Higher Department, to 
whom are taught, reading, writing, geography, grammar and 
arithmetic. All classes are taught vocal music. Some few of the 
larger scholars are attending Shaw & Lansing's Commercial 
School, located in the city. By the liberality of the proprietors, 
their tuition is furnished at reduced rates, which tuition is not 
paid in any instance by the State, but by some kind friend of the 
orphans. 

The schools are kept in better condition than could, reasonably 
be expected in such small rooms as they are compelled to occupy, 
which are very illy furnished, and the scholars so closely together 
as really to be in each others way. Notwithstanding all this, 
your committee are of the opinion that very fair progress is 
being made, and that the opportunities here afforded to the 
orphans are such as will prepare them as men and women for the 
active duties of life in any intelligent community. 

LIBRARY. 

The library (if it may be called such), consists of a few more 
than 300 volumes which have been read and re-read. Your 
committee are of the opinion that nothing is better calculated to 
cultivate taste for profitable reading among youth than a well 
selected " Youths' Library," and would recommend an appropria- 
tion of three hundred dollars for that purpose. 

BUILDINGS. 

The property leased and occupied by the Home, consists of the 
following buildings : 

First. — An old brick hotel, three stories high, 30 by 62 feet, 
from the rear of which are two wooden projections, two stories, 
28 by 40 feet. 

Second. — A two- story brick building, 32 by 40 feet. 

Third. — A cheap, wooden structure, filling the space between 
the other two buildings — width 20 feet. 

Fourth. — A small wooden building, a few rods from the other 
buildings, in which are quartered the children of the ninth ward. 



REPORT OF VISITING COMMITTEE. 7 

The rent for the last-named building (which is $180) your 
committee regarded as double its fair rental value, but no other 
building could at the time be procured. 

The aggregate rents paid for these buildings amount to the sum 
of $866 per annum. The buildings are cheaply furnished — the 
beds well filled with straw, are very large, filling a bunk about 
five ieet by six feet, and in each of these four little fellows are 
tucked side by side. 

The school rooms are not nearly so well finished or furnished 
as are ordinary common school -houses. 

The two main buildings are quite old and dilapidated and are 
not well adapted to their present use. Your committee examined 
a forty- acre tract of land, proposed to be donated to the State by 
the citizens — provided a suitable building be erected thereon and 
referred to in the Report of the Trustees — and found it to be 
located nearly one -half mile outside the city limits, and is a fine, 
high, undulating piece of land, an excellent site for building pur- 
poses. And believing this institution will be needed for years to 
come ; that it has proven already and w^ill continue to prove itself 
a great blessing to the indigent children of those soldiers of Iowa 
who have either fallen for their country, or have become unable 
through disease or wounds to provide bread and education for 
them, your committee unite with the said Board of Trustees in 
recommending an appropriation of thirty thousand dollars for the 
erection of suitable buildings upon the tract of land above referred 
to, for the use of the Orphans' Home.

Aggregate per month $610 6Q 

FINANCIAL CONDITION. 

The total expenses for January, 1868, were $3,071.74, with an 
average of about two hundred and seventy - eight orphans, or a 
trifle over eleven dollars for each per month. From an examina- 
tion of monthly expenditures for the year last past, your com- 
mittee are of the opinion that it will be difficult to render the 
children comfortable and pay the employes reasonable wages for 
a less appropriation than ten dollars per month for each Orphan. 

It will be remembered that the appropriation by the State has 
heretofore been $8.33 for each child, per month. The insufficiency 
of that sum has compelled the Board to appeal to the citizens for 
donations. Upward of $3,000 have been donated for the Cedar 
Falls Home by individuals since it became a state institution. 
This your committee believe to be all wrong. The State should 
provide for the necessities of so noble a charity — not by any means 
with a prodigal hand — nor yet with grudging insufficiency. On 
the other hand the Board of Trustees recommend an increase of 
appropriation to twelve dollars per month for each orphan. Your 
committee are of the opinion that by making regular details of the 
larger girls to aid in the kitchen and dining room, and also on Sat- 
urdays in the sewing department, thereby securing to the girls a 
more practical knowledge of those useful arts, viz: Washing dishes, 



REPORT OF VISITING COMMITTEE. 9 

cooking and sewing (which in the opinion of your committee is no 
disgrace to any lady of Iowa), thereby saving the wages of three 
or four employes, and also (should the State provide a building of 
its own for this Home) the large saving of rent ; that the appropri- 
ation of ten dollars per month for each orphan will, with care on 
the part of the officers, be quite sufficient to render comfortable the 
orphans of our soldiers, and also provide for them a good education. 
In conclusion, your committee agree that the unsurpassed liberal- 
ity, sympathy and kindness of the citizens of Cedar Falls to this 
large class of unfortunate children located among them, can not be 
too highly complimented — that the appropriations heretofore 
made by the State, have been well and economically expended, 
and that the present judicious management of this Institution 
unites with its laudable object in commending this noble charity 
to the fostering care of the State. 

Accompanying this report is returned a complete alphabetical 
list of the children and youths now at the Home — from what 
county — sex — and present age. 

All of which is respectfully submitted.
